Two Weeks

Good Day Everyone! I find it difficult to comprehend that we have been in Charlotte for two weeks. Actually on the two week anniversary of our late night trip to Charlotte, I have reversed course, and have come back to Clinton. I left my Sweetie in good hands. She has a very good doctor, and is getting to know the nurses, aides, and nursing students at the Rehab Hospital. By the way, her address is:

Lucinda Gurley
Room 121
Charlotte Institute of Rehabilitation
1100 Blythe Blvd.
Charlotte, NC 28203

It's hard to be gone for two weeks, and since Cindy is improving and doesn't need me quite as much, and she is going to be in both physical and occupational therapy quite a bit during the day, and resting in between, we decided that it would be a good idea for me to come back for a few days and pick up the reins and loose ends on things that are going on here. Cindy's mom and dad, Grace and Mac have been diligent in taking good care of our puppy, Luci, and we thought they might need a bit of a break. So I stopped by Raleigh and picked up Luci.
You all know that the world doesn't stop turning even if you feel like you have stepped off and out of your routine for a spell. There are bills to pay, errands that can only be run by the one who knows the need and can find that document that needs to be mailed or faxed. My mother has also been under the weather a bit, and so this will give me a chance to visit her.
We received excellent care at the Medical Center and the nurses and staff were great. I am hopeful and believe that will continue at the Rehab Hospital. We do not know what the length of Cindy's stay will be. That will depend on her progress in getting up to speed with her balance, mobility, and function. She is tentatively scheduled for radiation therapy to begin next Thursday, and we do not know at this juncture what the time frame will be for that.
Cindy has come a long way from where she was two weeks ago tonight, but there are steps on this journey yet to be taken. We are so grateful that each of you have been sharing this journey with us, and we ask that you continue to bear with us, that you continue to lift Cindy up in prayer, and it is our hope that God's grace will continue to enfold her.
It is getting late, and I better close, and I would like to do so with one of Cindy's favorite scripture passages, a portion of Paul's prayer for the Ephesians: "Now unto him that is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen." Ephesians 3:20-21
